The following essays/articles were
written by history professors, historians, published authors, etc. who have vast experience in
documenting the American Civil War. Some have chosen to remain anonymous not because they
are ashamed of their name, but instead chose to use the "handle" they go by in
the Civil War Chat Room. This allows all their friends to know just who wrote the piece.

Did you know that Thomas was accused
of having a case of the "slows" at this battle? Wasn't Lincoln that said it, it
was Grant! Thomas dang near got fired over this one. You gotta read about it to appreciate
it.

Was he the South's finest
general? How did he match up against Lee? Not often you get to see two
generals who fought for the same side compared. This is the second in a
series of articles to allow you to ponder the age old question of "what if?"

This is the opening salvo of a series of
articles that are being written to try to show the key decisions that were made that
affected the outcome of the war. A really good "What If?" discussion that allows
you to draw your own conclusions.

A great article about how the history of the hydrographic
survey of the main Argentine rivers is closely related with the life of two
former officers of the Confederate navy. Originally published in an
Argentine newspaper and sent to this site by its author. I think you
will like it.

Think you got all the answers to the
"What Ifs" of Gettysburg (Ewell had taken the hill, Stuart had been there on
time, etc.)? Did you ever consider Meade's position? Take a look at this beauty and I
think you will get a whole new prospective on the What Ifs of the Battle of Gettysburg.
This article was written by a long time student of the late Rebellion and one of the true
"experts " on the Battle of Gettysburg.
